Sustainable camps in the Maasai Mara

Two new Great Plains Camps in Kenya from summer 2021

On May 25, 2021, the brand new Mara Toto Camp, which is perfect for families and small groups, will open its doors to guests for the first time. Mara Plains Camp will follow on June 1, 2021. It has been completely renovated and has also been given a new honeymoon suite. Both camps can be used exclusively and thus offer an exceptional private safari experience. And a stay here is also sustainable.


New and newly renovated

The brand new Mara Toto Camp is located on the banks of the Ntiakitiak River on the border of the Maasai Mara Reserve. It can accommodate up to eight guests, making it ideal for small groups or larger families. It was designed by Beverly Joubert, who founded the nature conservation organization Great Plains together with her husband Dereck in 2006. Here, guests not only enjoy a great deal of privacy, but also almost endless opportunities to observe wildlife. All four tented accommodations have brass bathrooms, there is a communal lounge area and indoor and outdoor dining. When it opens at the end of May is the best opportunity to get impressive big cats in front of your lens.

Mara Plains Camp has been completely renovated. It is located in the Olare Motorogi Conservation Area, from where guests also have access to the 1,500 square kilometer Maasai Mara Reserve. The brand new honeymoon suite is particularly spectacular. It is located on a small, hidden peninsula and is only accessible via a suspension bridge. Here too, the Jouberts were in charge of the design. A stay here is probably unbeatable in terms of romance. In terms of exclusivity, however, Mara Plains Camp offers even more with the Jahazi Suite. This is a new private villa with 2 bedrooms and large mahogany desks. It is also ideal for longer workation stays.

The Great Plains Foundation is known worldwide for its commitment to nature and species conservation in Africa. Innovative initiatives with a long-term commitment to the environment, local communities and wildlife form the cornerstone of the conservation organization. The two new camps in the Maasai Mara are a further step towards a vacation with a clear conscience. All camps are solar-powered, employ local staff and thus provide communities with a livelihood. In addition, a seedling is planted for every guest who stays at one of the Great Plains Camps in Kenya as part of the Great Plains Foundation's "Replacement of Shade Program".
